Why do we choose less than 100%

Ok…so I have posted a few posts on living at 100% etc.

What a hot button topic…

Some of you are angry that I ever said you could live at 100% all of the time — and that’s ok, but I would like to clarify something on that –

I think the anger came because it seemed that I was saying you should push yourself too hard all the time and wear yourself down –

Please understand this…

That is NOT what I’m saying!

You can’t run a race horse 24/7 — so when I say you can be at 100% all of the time, I mean that you can be 100% present in whatever it is you are doing — even if what you are doing is recovering and sitting on the couch drooling on yourself…

That’s my point — be present in whatever you are doing 100%

Now, some of you weren’t angry at all and got a big wake up call — COOL…

And from those people, one of you asked a great question and that is the purpose of this post…

The question was something to the effect of, “Why do we choose less than 100% even when we know choosing that way will keep us from our dreams?”

Aha! Like I said, GREAT question…

And my response…

(Well, I’ll be honest, I’m going to write a lot more on this later…)

I want to know why YOU think we choose less than 100% even when we know it isn’t going to get us where we want to go…

So, leave me a comment — and rest assured, I will be writing a whole post on this question, (and I’ll give you a hint — comfort zone, fear of change, fear of success and subconscious blocks all play a role)…

Can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

Stop looking for perfection…

I’m going to be short and to the point on this one…

Stop looking for perfection and look for improvement instead!

The quest for perfection is what has so many of you looking for the 1 thing that will fix your life by next week…

Let me ask you a blunt question…

How’s that working so far?

This is your life and I’m here to tell you that you CAN have the life you want, but you have to be willing to do it in steps…

Perfection isn’t going to happen — but constant improvement can!

So many of you want to know how to make your life better, how to get the life of your dreams and how I got to where I am from where I was…

The answer to all of those questions is the same –

You get there 1 step of improvement of a time!

• Stop trying to be perfect
• Stop trying to FIX it all by next week
• Stop looking for the new answer to your dreams

and START improving every day…

Do it and your life will change — I know it for a fact!

Leave me a comment and tell me if you are ready to let go of perfection and embrace improvement…

When will you finally be ready?

I had an interesting conversation the other day…

I was talking with my best friend about a mutual friend of ours that is finally branching out with his own consulting business after years of running a consulting business for someone else…

As we were talking about this, my best friend said, “Do you think he’s ready?”

I thought about it for a second and this is what I said…

“I don’t think he’ll be ready until he’s doing it…”

We both laughed because it’s so true…

Think about it…

When are you ready? And I mean REALLY ready?

I’ll tell you when…

When you are doing it…

Don’t get me wrong…

You can (and must) prepare…

You can practice and get all of your ducks in a row (whatever that means)…

But you will finally be ready in the exact moment that you are doing it!

Here’s an example…

An athlete can train, hit practice hard and work all of their drills…

But when are they ready for the game?

During the game!

Here’s the deal…

So many people get stuck in the ‘Getting Ready’ phase and they never move onto the ready phase…

Be honest with me here…

What is it you are ‘getting ready for’ and have been ‘getting ready for’ for longer than a month?

Here are most of the things I hear that people are getting ready to be ready for…

• Losing weight
• Getting into shape
• Starting their own business
• Finding their passion
• Starting to design the life of their dreams
• Getting in the game
• Connecting with their kids
• Connecting with their spouse

and the list goes on and on and on…

So what is it for you?

It’s time to get in the game and START going big…

Enough getting ready!

Can’t wait for your comments on this one!

Go Big!

Who are you listening to?

When it comes to your life and your goals and desires…

Let me ask you 1 question…

Who are you listening to?

This is one of the biggest challenges today…

• There are a whole bunch of people in your life who are more than ready and willing to give you advice on what you can and especially what you CAN’T or SHOULDN’T do…
• There are countless people standing by, ready to protect you or steer you toward what is smart and sensible and realistic…

So often these people listen to your ideas and tell you they won’t work, or they aren’t smart…

And when they do, it’s easy to get discouraged and abandon your ideas…

It’s easy to get deflated and look for a more sensible or realistic approach that doesn’t get you excited, but at least ypu’ve heard it makes sense…

Here’s my big question for you…

When it comes to the people who you are listening to…

Do they have what you want?

I’m all for advice and mentors and perspective…

BUT

Please, please, please…

Get that advice from people who are where you want to go…

• If you want advice on how to start making $10, 000 a month through passive income, should you listen to someone who has only ever made $3500/month and traded time for every single dollar of it?
• If you want your relationship to be healthy, communicative and passionate, are you going to listen to your friend who is in a loveless marriage?
• If you want to get into the best shape of your life, are you going to go to someone who has never exercised a day in their life for advice on how to do it?

When I ask my coaching clients these questions they always see how ridiculous it is to get advice from someone who doesn’t have what you want…

AND YET…

Most have them have been doing just that…

Most people have a group of advisers that they love and who love them, but when it comes to deciding if your ideas and dreams can happen…

When it comes to discovering the path to design the life you desire…

Make sure you are listening to people who know from experience what it takes to get there!

Listen…

Your friends and family are so important to love you and add to your life…

And if you your friends and family do have the things that you desire, then PLEASE listen to them!

But often your advisers serve a different purpose…

Start finding people who have what you want (at least the next level from where you are)…

Your life will start to change instantly when you do!

As always, leave a comment here…I love hearing from you and what you have to say might be helpful to someone else!

Go Big!

Delusions or Expectations?

If you are here reading this then there is a good chance that you are different than the people who are willing to live a “Normal” life…

Chances are good you want your life to be extraordinary AND you feel that the great and amazing things you imagine for yourself can actually happen.

You are on a different path…

And good for you!

BUT this is what I know…

You probably struggle to find other people who understand that path…

When you talk about your plans and ideas and goals most people will dismiss them as delusions of grandeur…

THEY ARE WRONG!

What most people call ‘Delusions of Grandeur’, I call –

EXPECTATIONS OF GREATNESS!

Celebrate your expectations of greatness!

Celebrate your willingness to take a different road…

A road that is only travelled by a few.

It is a hard road to travel down at times…

It can feel very lonely…

But that’s what this blog is here for…

From now on, whenver someone in your world questions your expectations of greatness and calls them delusions of grandeur, come here…

Leave a comment on any post CLAIMING YOUR GREATNESS –

Say it loud!

Claim it here…

We are on the same path and when you have doubt…

We will celebrate your greatness!

Leave a comment now and share your expectations of greatness for your life!

You are brave and I applaud you…

You are EXTRAORDINARY!

Go Big!
